Peach Sangria with Greek Wine and Mastiha Liqueur
If you happen to be in Greece when making this Greek recipe for Sangria, you’ll definitely want to use local, juicy, ripe Greek peaches! You can find the Greek honey on my e-shop and the wines online. This Greek-inspired sangria is an indulgent part of the Greek diet, made with Mediterranean ingredients like fresh fruit and honey and with a uniquely Greek liqueur flavored with Mastiha, a resinous spice produced on the island of Chios.
Ingredients
- 4 large fresh peaches peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 cup hot water
- ½ cup Greek pine or thyme honey
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 2 ½ cups Greek Malagouzia Moschofilero or Assyrtico white wine
- ½ cup Mastiha liqueur
- 1 750 milliliter bottle sparkling Greek rosé wine, chilled
Instructions
-
Blend peaches, hot water, honey, and cinnamon in a blender or food processor until smooth. Transfer to a pitcher and stir in the dry white wine and Mastiha liqueur. Cover and chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
-
Strain peach mixture through a large cheesecloth-lined sieve; squeeze cloth to remove all the juices. Pour juice into a large pitcher and stir in sparkling white wine. Serve.
